Jihan Adem

Jihan Adem, founder of Bowen College UK, has been a pioneer in the field of Bowen Therapy since it was introduced to the UK in 1995. Her journey began with a transformative personal experience which sparked a deep passion for this gentle yet powerful modality. 

Based in Devon, Jihan runs a thriving practice while actively participating in national and international conferences. She collaborates with top anatomy and physiology specialists worldwide. 

“Having thoroughly enjoyed teaching Bowen for so many years now, I have never fallen out of love with this modality. It is desperately important to have a good understanding anatomically of the structures you’re working with during treatment, but it is also completely necessary to understand how the entire system works. At Bowen College, we present a system that looks at and teaches not only about how the body works and responds to bodywork but also how the mind works.”

Teaching Philosophy and Approach

Jihan’s teaching philosophy is rooted in a holistic understanding of health, emphasising the interconnectedness of the mind and body. She believes that a comprehensive approach to therapy requires not only a deep anatomical knowledge but also an appreciation for the psychological aspects of health.

Jihan’s calm, patient, and engaging teaching style creates an inclusive and stimulating learning environment. Her extensive experience in clinical practice, teaching, and dissection lab work, combined with her collaboration with other dedicated professionals, provides her students with a rich and comprehensive education in Bowen Therapy. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and inspiring others to explore and master this transformative therapy.

What Jihan’s Students Say

“What a lovely, interesting, informative course Jihan delivered. Her knowledge and presentation are spot on. I so enjoyed it. Although being back in the classroom made my brain hurt, I’m looking forward to testing my new skills out on my family and friends. You’ve given me the confidence to give it a go. It’s also nice to meet such a lovely bunch of like-minded ladies. Thank you.”
